What are you listening 2 now?

[Madiel]

Today's home office listening included the next 2 Vivaldi Naive albums. Pleasing without being anything truly remarkable I think.



Still considering whether the pretty covers, the good documentation (certainly from what I've seen of the operas in particular) and my obsession for sets might lead me to pursue all the volumes of this series...

See if you can get this, I like it very much. It used to be pretty easy to find and inexpensive, maybe not any more. It comes with a good booklet too.

This Mahler 1st has always been a top contender and is still an excellent choice even if it has been superseded in sonic terms at least. That said there are no real complaints about the 1968 sound.

Fischer-Dieskau's wonderful performance of the Wayfarer songs makes an apt coupling.

[Madiel]

Faure, op.104 piano pieces (Nocturne no.11 and Barcarolle no.10)



Some of his bleakest music I think.

[Tsaraslondon]

Lucia Popp (soprano), Gerhard Unger (tenor), Raymond Wolansky & John Noble (baritones)
New Philharmnia Chorus, Wandsworth School Boys' Choir
New Philharmonia Orchestra - Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos

Not a particular favourute work of mine but I like to get it out for an airing from time to time. I've always had a soft spot for this recording, and Lucia Popp is aboslutely divine in the soprano solos.

Schoenberg: Moses und Aron
Franz Mazura, Philip Langridge, Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, cond. Solti


This isn't the mishap that one might imagine, but it's far from perfect. Textures in the "crowd scenes" get quite muddy and the violin section (to say nothing of the chorus) seems to struggle with intonation in Schoenberg's very frequent stratospheric writing. Still, Langridge makes for a pretty good Aron, and Mazura is a convincing enough Moses. The dramatic power of this opera comes through regardless of quibbles.

A new studio recording of this work, now that it's been performed much more, would be much appreciated.

I like Mazura very much.
